Summary: In this feature documentary, anti-gay religious groups meet the gay Jesus play. The film follows the troupe, playwright, and audiences across the U.S. and around the world on a five-year journey of Terrence McNally's passion play, where voices of protest and support collide on one of the central issues facing the LGBT community, religion-based bias related to issues of civil rights, marriage equality, and separation of church and state.
